I just bought an old lawn edger, with a 2 hp Tecumseh engine. The guy that sold it said he had used it a couple of years ago, but couldn't get it started last year. I got it started but it won't idle. Also, I have to keep the choke closed about half way to keep it running. The choke has no linkage hooked to it. Does anyone have a picture of the linkage, so I can see how all these rods, and springs, are supposed to be hooked up? I've heard these little carbs are finicky, but I think I can get it working if I can get it hooked up right.
Thanks Frank M.

Some brand engines use an automatic choke. There is a covered spring and rod on the side. Air flow thru the venturi keeps it open. Maybe I'm think'n B&S.

99% of Tec carb problems are dirt&varnish.Take out the main jet(bowl nut),remove the needle and clean out the tiny hole(s)in the side(s)of the jet.One or two tiny grains of dirt will here will cause the problem you describe.ALWAYS run a Tec dry before any long storage and use clean fuel.A lotta small engine shops love to hate Tecs at $25-50 for a 10 min jet cleaning :)

The guy told me it was a 2 hp. I did some more research, and I believe it's a 3 hp. Model # is: H30-353755. I know it's probably gummed up, but the linkage has me puzzled. Hope you can come up with a picture.
Thanks
